Oblonc Grab, Montreal, Chicago,
Coral. Red Siberian, Yellow Siberian,

Our collection of pears is very good,
and the quality excellent; but the pres
ence of the summer fogs has the ten
dency to give them russell surface.
The same varieties grown farther from
the coast will present much handsomer
appearance. The collections shown al
this years State and Mechanics Insti.
tute Fairs were highly commended. The
spraying Of the orchard with the sui
phide- hale. oil soap solution produced
a marked effect upon the black fungus.
and gave the trees and the fruit much
better appearance.

the following varieties, OF which scions
